Default Performance Stores in the Bay Area?

Hi everyone! I am on a business trip in San Jose and I am looking to buy a JWT clutch/flywheel combo or maybe an ACT combo for my Z... I would like to actually visit the store and take a look at some other stuff.

Do you guys have any recommendation for me? I already have the Gruppe-S guys on my list!

Thanks a lot for the pointers!
Carlos Ch.

Head down to Z car garage in San Jose.

And, personally, I would avoid Gruppe-S

^ they've got a terrible rep since Mike left. Awful customer service... just look on the suby forums to get some reviews.

btw: gruppe-s is moving down to socal now i think.

Oh well, I just bought something from Gruppe-S and I think that everything was fine. I got a really good deal.

Anyway, as they say "results may vary"

Thanks again about the Z Garage pointer, I will definitely visit them.

ZCG doesn't have much stuff "in stock" to sell, but seeing the cars and meeting Rob and his crew certainly warrants the trip.

Yeah give ZCG a visit.

You'll get to see some built cars, their shop, and meet the guys.

Just so you know, Rob loves Z's

Well guys, thanks for the pointers to the Z Car Garage... although I almost failed to go, on my last day in the Bay Area I managed to escape the office early enough to go pay Rob a visit.

He had plenty of hot cars in there!!! Excellent customer service, extremely friendly and knowledgeable.

I got the JWT clutch + Flywheel setup at a great price and now it is waiting for install time. I will let you guys know how that goes.

Thanks to Rob and the Z Car Garage!
